Tinseltown is all star-studded glitz, all the time.
Do We Have This? Didn't we used to have this?
That screwy, ballyhooey Hollywood!
We have Hollywood California, but there's only one tiny line in the description of "Los Angeles" that touches on Hollywood proper, in the old sense. Stars, glitz, glamor, magic, romance, fame, and fortune! Searchlights, red carpets, gala premieres, exclusive clubs, limousines and long cigarette holders! The Brown Derby, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the Sunset Strip, the Walk of Fame at Hollywood and Vine! Talent scouts discovering the latest superstar serving coffee at the local diner! Exclamation points on everything!
Almost a Forgotten Trope these days, since everything (including Hollywood itself) is Darker And Edgier now, though it's even more forgotten that Hollywood Hollywood was always a little bit tongue-in-cheek, and the flimsy scaffolding holding up the glitzy facades showed more than modern audiences give credit for.
I went through all of Hollywood Style, but I really can't find anything that talks about this at all, except its opposite: Horrible Hollywood.
Looking for more straight examples!
